25

I will be 25 in less than two weeks and I have gone through my quarter life crisis transformation. I've accepted turning 25 and realized that its not so bad after all. Things could be a lot worse. The only thing that is upsetting me now is having to deal with this pay cut at work. Everyone has to take a 10% pay cut. The only thing that has saved me is the fact that I got a raise in January, so the pay cut won't be soooooo bad. It basically puts me back to where I was before the raise. I was doing so well for the first three months, saving money and not being affected by this economy, but now its come around to bite me in the ass. At least I didn't loose my job so I have to be grateful for that. The thing that pisses me off the most is that I'm taking a pay cut but I have to work the same amount of hours. What's up with that? I can't wait to get my book finished and published so i don't have to work for people anymore.

Things are moving along for me though...I just have to keep the faith. So about turning 25 and accepting it, I decided to not be afraid of getting older. I am embracing getting older and hoping to change my life for the better. I've always been so quick to get older, I think its because i'm an only child. I took on the responsibilities of being an adult at a young age. I loan my mother money to this day...my life is backwards. People go to their parents when they need money or help with things, but mine comes to me. I don't know...When do your parents stop holding parenting over you?


I'm ready to make more money and hustle my book and work on Beat Cartel things...I'm ready to get engaged, plan a wedding and buy a house. Not all this year of course, over time. Because time flies, today i'm 24 and tomorrow I'll be 29. Its not the time to slow down or move backwards in life, Its the time to move forward and embrace aging, change and life.
